I sent only three U16+ photos to the ADN, since it already had four U12/U14 Alyeska Cup images plus captions and hadn't run any of those.

Here are the captions for the photos I sent February 20:

The cutline:

Alyeska Ski Club U16 Jaxon Murphy reaches for the finish line to stop the clock on his second run in the first of two Alyeska Cup giant slaloms Monday on the Race Trail. He won his class in both giant slaloms, was second fastest overall in the first race, less than a second behind U18 teammate Tanner Murphy (no relation), and was the fastest overall in the second race.

The slalom poles on the course behind Alyeska Ski Club U21 racer Georgia Lantz are still flexing as she takes her first run in the first of two Alyeska Cup slaloms Sunday on the Tanaka Hill. Lantz took both runs and had the best overall time in the first race and was second behind U18 teammate Shyan Hargis in the second race.
